The December 2025 session has already been completed its result and rectified answer keys for Categories I to IV are published on ktet.kerala.gov.in. The February 2026 session is the upcoming one, with the exam scheduled for 8 and 9 August 2026.

Source Conflict Disclosure

Several third-party exam portals currently show different and conflicting KTET 2026 exam dates including 11-12 July 2026, 15-16 September 2026, and 23 May 2026 often tied to a separately reported "Special KTET" notification for in-service teachers linked to a Supreme Court directive on teacher eligibility. These claims could not be verified against the official Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan portal at the time of writing. For the regular K-TET February 2026 session covered in this article, the only dates confirmed on the official website are 8 and 9 August 2026. Candidates should treat ktet.kerala.gov.in as the final authority and verify any other date they encounter elsewhere.
